Learning Outdoors - A School in the Woods - Part 1 - With Mary Machlachlan and Anne Statham

I’m just a bit of a maverick, I see things slightly differently and always gone a bit left field and I’ve always questioned and wondered whether it could be done differently or better.’

Welcome to the Spring/Summer series of the Back To The Garden Podcast. Todays guest, Mary Mclachlan, founded the Wood School in Manchester in 2010. It’s an incredible school set in a 1.7 acre woodland. In this episode we’re also joined by our regular podcast guest, Anne Statham (our very own child development specialist). This is a very in-depth conversation so it is split into two parts.

What we cover in this episode:

Outdoor learning
Developing empathy in practitioners
The art of active listening
Parent Effectiveness Training (PET)
How the wood school began
The importance of developing a relationship with nature at a young age

We’re thrilled to have Mary as a guest on the show and welcome back Anne.

’Concepts around awe and wonder, that’s why it’s set in a wood. The wood is constantly changing. It surprises you each time you go. I was in this week, I’ve had the wood for over 15 years, and this week I saw a new bird.’
